Abstract Introduction Burn is one of the most severe traumas that causes coagulative destruction of the skin. The use of various products that accelerate wound healing in patients with burn may affect the patient’s survival and reduce the complications that may be seen. In the present study we aimed effects of subcutaneous ozone injection on second degree burn wound. Methods A total of 72 Sprague-Dawley male rats included in the study were divided randomly into three groups (control group (CG), silver sulfadiazine group (SG), ozone group (OG)) and each group was divided randomly two subgroups (as sacrificed on d7 and on d14).A deep second degree scald burns were created on the lower back. In CG subcutaneous 0.9% serum saline was injected daily into the burn area. In SG, burns were dressed with silver sulfadiazine daily and in OG subcutaneous ozone was injected daily into the burn area. Tissue hydroxyproline level measurement and histopathological evaluation were done. Results When the groups were compared in terms of weight change, no significant difference was found on the 7th and 14th days. In the evaluation made in terms of tissue hydroxyproline, tissue hydroxyproline level in OG was found to be significantly higher on both the 7th and 14th days (p < 0.001). In histopathological evaluations, it was determined that wound healing in OG was significantly higher than in the other groups. Conclusions According to the results, subcutaneous ozone therapy is more effective than silver sulphadiazine in the healing process of second-degree burn wounds and it can be safely used in the treatment of burn wounds.

Abstract Burns are one of the most severe traumas, causing coagulative destruction of the skin. The use of various products that accelerate wound healing in patients with burns may affect rates of patient survival and reduce complications. We studied the effects of subcutaneous ozone injection on second-degree burn wounds in animal model. For this study, 72 Sprague-Dawley male rats were divided randomly into the following three groups: control group , silver sulfadiazine group, and ozone group; each group was then divided randomly into two subgroups (day 7 or day 14 examination and sacrifice). Superficial partial thickness burns were created on the lower back. In the control group, subcutaneous 0.9% serum saline was injected daily into the burn area. In the silver sulfadiazine group, burns were dressed daily with silver sulfadiazine. In the ozone group, subcutaneous ozone was injected daily into the burn area. We performed tissue hydroxyproline level measurements and histopathological evaluations. When groups were compared in terms of weight change, no significant difference was found between day 7 and day 14. With regard to tissue hydroxyproline levels the ozone group had significantly higher levels on both day 7 and day 14 (P < .001). In histopathological evaluations, we determined that wound healing in the ozone group was significantly higher than in the other groups. We found that subcutaneous ozone therapy was more effective than silver sulfadiazine in the healing process of second-degree burn wounds and could be safely used in the treatment of burn wounds.

Abstract: Wound healing process consists of inflammation, proliferation, and remodelling phases with increasing inflammatory cells, angiogenesis, and epithelization. Mechanism of hyperbaric oxygen therapy is O2 pressure over 1 ATA will increase oxygen pressure in the tissue. The main outcome measure is wound healing. This study was aimed to obtain the influence of hyperbaric oxygen therapy to wound healing process of deep second degree burn wounds. This was an experimental study. Subject were 36 rabbits divided into 2 groups, each of 18 rabbits. Deep second degree burn wounds were performed on all rabbits. One group was treated with hyperbaric oxygen therapy 2.4 ATA for 6 days, meanwhile the other group as control. The result of Mann-Whitney U test showed significant differences in inflammatory cells (P = 0.025) and epithelization (P = 0.024); albeit, there was not significant difference in angiogenesis (P = 0.442) between the two groups. Conclusion: Hyperbaric oxygen therapy could influence the inflammatory cells and epithelization but not the angiogenesis.Keywords: second degree burn wound, healing process, hyperbaric oxygen therapyAbstrak: Proses penyembuhan luka terdiri dari: fase inflamasi, proliferasi, dan perupaan kembali/remodeling, yang tampak dengan meningkatnya sel-sel radang, angiogenesis serta epitelialisasi. Mekanisme kerja terapi oksigen hiperbarik (TOHB) ialah pemberian tekanan O2 yang melebihi 1 ATA akan menyebabkan peningkatan tekanan O2 dalam jaringan. Jenis penelitian ialah eksperimental. Subyek penelitian 36 ekor kelinci yang dibuat luka bakar derajat dua dalam, kemudian dibagi menjadi dua kelompok, masing-masing 18 ekor.

Abstract Background: Burn injury is common, burn ointment (BO) is a common preparation used to treat burns and scalds in folk as an effective remedy for burn healing. The present study was undertaken to evaluate the healing effect and related underlying mechanisms of BO in a model of deep second-degree thermal burn by animal experiments. Methods: BO is was made up of a combination of extracts from several traditional Chinese medicine and borneol, solid paraffin, rapeseed oil, and and its quality control was assessed. The acute toxicity test and skin irritation test were evaluated by rats. The anti-inflammatory effect was revealed by using inflammation animal models, including the xylene-induced auricle swelling in mice and carrageenan-induced toe swelling in rats. The hot plate test was used to evaluate its analgesic activity. Moreover, the experiments of knife and a deep second-degree burn wound were used to explore the effect of BO in promoting wound healing. On days 7, 14 and 28, the wounds were digitally photographed by a camera and after sacrifice of the SD rats, skin samples were obtained for performing H&E staining, immunohistochemical staining and Western Blotting examination. In addition, The expressed of TNF-α, TGF-β1 and VEGF in serum were detected by ELISA kits. Results: BO had no toxicity or side effects on the skin and liver or kidney function. BO could significantly inhibit auricular swelling in mice, paw welling in rats and markedly prolonged the latencies of licking paws in mice; it also could accelerate the process of wound healing and repair scar by promoting the formation of new epithelial tissue. In addition, BO significantly reduced the content of TNF-α and markedly increased the content of VEGF and TGF-β1 in the serum. Moreover, BO promoted the expression of collagen I. Furthermore, it increased the ratio of p-PI3K/PI3K, p-AKT/AKT and p-mTOR/mTOR in the PI3K / AKT / mTOR pathway.Conclusions: BO could effectively reduce inflammation and pain, and effectively accelerate the healing process of deep second-degree burn wounds. And the mechanism of BO promoting wound healing may be related to activate PI3K / AKT / mTOR pathway. therefore, it may be recommended as a promising topical medication for treating burn wounds in the future clinical trials.

(1) Background: Wounds with damages to the subcutaneous are difficult to regenerate because of the tissue damages and complications such as bacterial infection. (2) Methods: In this study, we created burn wounds on pigs and investigated the efficacy of three biomaterials: polycaprolactone-gelatin-silver membrane (PCLGelAg) and two commercial burn dressings, Aquacel® Ag and UrgoTulTM silver sulfadiazine. In vitro long-term antibacterial property and in vivo wound healing performance were investigated. Agar diffusion assays were employed to evaluate bacterial inhibition at different time intervals. Minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC), minimum bactericidal concentration (MBC) and time-kill assays were used to compare antibacterial strength among samples. Second-degree burn wounds in the pig model were designed to evaluate the efficiency of all dressings in supporting the wound healing process. (3) Results: The results showed that PCLGelAg membrane was the most effective in killing both Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria bacteria with the lowest MBC value. All three dressings (PCLGelAg, Aquacel, and UrgoTul) exhibited bactericidal effect during the first 24 h, supported wound healing as well as prevented infection and inflammation. (4) Conclusions: The results suggest that the PCLGelAg membrane is a practical solution for the treatment of severe burn injury and other infection-related skin complications.

Abstract Prevention of infections is a very important issue in treating the burn wounds. The nanosilver dressings have many promising advantages, but absorption of silver ions and its adverse effects to the body were always a question. The aim of this study was to compare Silver serum levels and acute toxic effects of nanosilver on histopathology of organs (lungs, liver, kidney, spleen, and brain) in two types of AgiCoat and Acticoat (nanosilver) dressings on second-degree deep burn in rat. This is an experimental study conducted in our animal laboratory. We divided 24 Sprague–Dawley male rats weighing 300 to 350 randomly into two groups. After anesthesia, a second deep-degree burn was made over dorsal skins of rats by standard method. For group A, Agicoat and, for group B, Acticoat dressings were used. The dressings were changed every 3 days with AgiCoat and Acticoat, respectively. After 14 days, we got blood samples and tissue samples taken from heart, liver, kidneys, spleen, lungs, and brain and a sample from dorsal skin of the rat for histopathological examinations. The results showed that the levels of serum silver in both groups were significantly higher than the standard level (1.22 part per million (PM); AgiCoat, P = .017; Acticoat, P = .000), but there was no significant difference between the groups (P = .551). Examination of the relationship between the level of serum silver and histopathological changes in liver showed that hepatotoxicity of AgiCoat was higher compared with Acticoat and the difference was significant (P = .002). There were no pathological changes in brain, kidneys, spleen, heart, and lungs. Wound healing was faster in Acticoat group. The nanosilver dressings can cause toxicity in liver but not in kidney, brain, spleen, heart, and lungs. Liver pathology and hepatotoxicity were more prominent in AgiCoat group. Wound healing was faster in Acticoat group.
